Design

Rahu's appendage is inspired by the pineal glands in the film From Beyond, and was added because Kaneko thought that just having a severed head was "lonely". In the PlayStation Portable version of Devil Summoner, Rahu's appendage was altered to look less phallic.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner (Akuma Zensho; PSP)

出身地：インド 霊薬アムリタを飲み、首だけ不死になった魔族。日食や月食を起こすとされる。 神々が混沌の乳海を撹拌して得た不死の霊薬アムリタを飲んでいると、ラーフというアスラが、神のふりをしてこれに粉れ込んだ。彼はアムリタを飲もうとするところを、太陽と月に正体を見抜かれる。ヴィシュヌ神はすぐに彼の首をはねたが、すでにアムリタの回っていた首から上だけは不死を得た。 ラーフはこの時の恨みで、太陽と月を追うのである。 Translation: Place of origin: India A class of demons that drank the miraculous amrita, and only became immortal at the neck. He is said to cause solar and lunar eclipses. When the gods stirred the chaotic ocean of milk to get and drink the medicine of immortality, amrita, the asura Rahu disguised himself as a god to blend in. Although he was allowed to drink amrita, the Sun and Moon saw through his true identity. The god Vishnu immediately decapitated him, but the amrita had already granted him immortality from his neck up. Rahu holds resentment from this time, and chases after the Sun and Moon.
